Comparison Between Summer and Winter Tents

Camping is a fantastic activity, providing hours of enjoyment and a welcome opportunity to connect with loved ones, as well as nature. There are lots of reasons to rough it on a good -old fashioned camping trip, from physical health benefits to stress relief. Camping introduces you to new experiences – perhaps an activity you’d always wanted to try but never found time for. This infographic visualizes a striking comparison between summer and winter tents.

Summer tents are designed to keep you cozy in mild weather conditions – a little bit of rain, a little bit of wind – but no more. Two-season tents will often have flimsy, light-weight poles and minimal guy-lines for pegging down.

On the other hand, winter tents typically come with an extra rigid exoskeleton and have steeply angled sides. They also provide the tent with enough strength to hold up against the weight of accumulating snow or ice.
